US Foreign Policy

State of the Union speeches are used periodically by the President to address the present affairs facing the United States directly to the American people. Reactions and approvals following these speeches are important points in tracking Presidential performance.

Isolationism, No to steal as much land from Mexico as possible and reach the Pacific.

The United States recognized the State of Israel relatively soon after Israel's Declaration of Independence. However, a true alliance did not exist between the countries until after the Six Day War of 1967. Prior to this, the United States enforced an arms embargo over the region.

The foreign policy of the French after World War I was basically keep the Germans from becoming militaristic again. The French built the Maginot Line to keep it's border with Germany secure. It also made Germany pay severe reparations for the war, and took territory. Their goal was lasting peace, but the punishment inflicted on Germany gave rise to Hitler, and World War II.

A great number of different things shaped US Foreign Policy between 1945 and 1990, but probably the most prominent and overarching was the Cold War antagonism between the US and the USSR.

1. Although America's main focus was still Europe, the USA made a commitment to a stronger presence in Europe. l August 30, 1951-An American military agreement with the Philippines reaffirmed American rights to air and naval bases there. l Sepetember 1, 1951-The ANZUS Pact with Australia and New Zealand established the US rather than UK as protector of those Pacific states. l 1954-The Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) brought together European and Asian nations, as the US, UK, France, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Republic of the Philippines, and Thailand agreed to mutual defence. 2. Changes in relationship with Japan l Recognized now as a counterweight to the Communist presence in Asia, the US began a program of capital investment in, and technology transfer to, Japan, that would spark a spectacular economic recovery. l Japan was also encouraged to rearm to a certain extent, in order to provide for its own defence. 目的：These measures would restore Japan's political sovereignty and place it securely in the American sphere of influence. As with West Germany, Japan's economic reconstruction and military self-sufficiency were seen as essential to the Western Alliance in its attempt to limit Soviet expansion. 3. The Korean War was also the catalyst for the rearmament of Western Europe. l The US committed 4 divisions to NATO forces already in Europe. Its annual defence budget rose from $11.5 million to $45 million between 1950 and 1952. l This suggestion (UK mediated, suggesting that Germany troops be subject to the control of the US and UK.) allayed France's fears and allowed the integration of Germany troops into the NATO alliance. l By 1955, the western military defensive alliance's maze of interlocking treaties was consolidated, and stood as a bulwark against Soviet expansion in Asia as well as Europe.

Because with Britain's strong navy, it could stop Europeans from building new colonies in the Americas.

i dont know maybe collective security in my opinion.

Because of U.S. support the Shah, was the heart of his foreign policy. They took more 60 hostages and demanded American force the shah to face trial.

The official name of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution was the Southeast Asia resolution. It passed unanimously in the House of Representatives and in the Senate only two senators voted against it. They were senators Wayne Morse and Ernest Gruening.

Upon leaving the office of US president, President George Washington warned to nation to avoid foreign alliances. He was mainly referring to alliances with the European powers. It was belief that the US had little to gain by becoming involved in European wars. Forming alliances would undoubtedly led to wars, the US should avoid.

The Marshall Plan was a US Foreign Policy designed to promote CAPITALIST DEMOCRACIES in Europe by rebuilding postwar Europe and making Europeans more moderate in their approach.

U.S. Participation in the Washington Naval Conference! (:

The United States had to pick a side: Israel or Arabs.

President Carter allowed the Shah of Iran to enter the U.S. for medical treatment

the Staggers Rail Act, which has resulted in rail profits and improved service. The act marked the most significant change in rail policy since the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887.

Salvador Allende (1908-1973) was a Chilean politician and former President of Chile. He was a Socialist, but not a Communist. Regardless, the United States believed him to be a threat in that he could turn Chile from be Pro-American to being Pro-Soviet. As a result, the United States supported General Pinochet in a coup d'etat to take over the government in 1973. During the coup, Allende committed suicide.

The main similarity between these foreign policies is that each was using the power and awe of the United States to cow other governments into toeing the American line, be it by military power, economic power, or both.

The myth of Neutrality was that if you were a neutral country, as many were in europe during ww1, you could easily be overpowered and overtaken. This was due to the fact that you personally as a country didn't want to fight or participate in the war, and you would then be invaded by the opposing countries that took a side. There was also the fact that if you took a side, and the opposing side won, then you would either get invaded or punished due to your alliance to the looser.

Hope that helps =)

This question confuses two different times of the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's ascension to power. in 1940, the UK and USSR jointly sponsored a coup d'etat which forcibly dethroned Shah Reza Pahlavi, in favor of his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, in order to secure the right to freely transport petroleum and other goods across Iranian soil. In 1951, the Shah was substantially weakened in his power through acts of Majlis (Parliament) and specifically Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. In 1953, the US CIA and British MI6 launched a coup d'etat to restore the Shah's authoritarian rule to where it had been in the 1940s.

Generally speaking, the US policy of containment with regards to the spread of Communism was a success in that, Soviet plans to dominate the world never came to pass. Communism did make gains after WW 2, however, the US and it's allies were successful in making sure that the USSR could not bring communism to the world. They had success in several areas such as China, which for the most part was unaided by the USSR. The failure of the Communist nations to promote dramatic revolutions on a worldwide scale was an indication of the weakness of the Soviet system.
